About this map

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore dominates this coastal landscape along the southern shore of Lake Superior. This 2017 survey details a wilderness area defined by its complex hydrology, where numerous inland water bodies like Beaver Lake, Trappers Lake, and Sevenmile Lake are connected by a network of small drainages including Sevenmile Cr and Arsenault Cr. The shoreline is marked by the expansive Twelvemile Beach, which serves as a corridor for the N Country National Scenic Trail.

Further inland, the transition between Alger and Schoolcraft counties reveals a more managed landscape, where forest roads and trails like Adams Trl and Twin Lake Truck Trl provide access to remote areas near Long Lake and Ionia Lake. The map illustrates the contemporary configuration of this protected region, showing the intersection of recreational trails and old county routes such as Co Rd 58 and Co Hwy 720 as they navigate the wetlands and low-lying topography of the Upper Peninsula.
